After raising the price of the Apple Music Student plan in several regions late last month, Apple is now doing the same in the US, UK, and Canada. Recent reports suggest that students will now have to pay $5.99 per month for the plan in the US and £5.99 per month in the UK. A month in the UK Although the price hike may not seem like much, it could put some students off the service.
It’s worth noting that Apple sent emails alerting users to this change when it first updated Student Plan rates in some regions last month. However, we haven’t seen any user reports of similar notifications being sent in the US, UK and Canada. Apple hasn’t released an official statement either, but we expect the company to announce the change soon. That’s because the company will automatically start charging the updated amount from existing customers without waiting for an explicit confirmation.
